Happy 3rd of July ~ Celebrate America with Music and Fireworks

At City Park

June 25, 2015
The annual Happy 3rd of July event at City park promises to be a spectacular show. Join the fun dressed in your red, white, and blue finery! Bring your chairs and blankets to enjoy patriotic music from The Marine Corps Band on the Goldring/Woldenberg Great Lawn and for fireworks from the top of the Peristyle. Arrive early for patriotic give-a-ways and a great spot on the lawn.
 
The Marine Corps bands will play patriotic music including the 1812 Overture, America the Beautiful, and other favorites.
 
Concessions, snoballs, wine, and beer will be available for purchase, or you may bring your own picnic. Due to large crowds and noise from the fireworks, we encourage you to leave you pets at home.
